MiniMail [via] transforms Mail.app’s Zoom button into a toggle for a mini-display that lists the latest unread messages from your inbox.
This would be very cool if:
the installer wasn’t borked (the stupid thing tries to access the /garooLibrary/ folder, what the hell? this is labeled — and sold — as version 1.0, not an alpha)
it didn’t choke on accented letters (same observation)
it didn’t hijack the Zoom button (just because iTunes breaks the systemwide UI paradigm means you have to follow in its tracks)
it were a standalone application (what’s the point of absolutely having to switch from one display to the other?)
there weren’t plenty of free, slightly less evolved but quite usable and better programmed alternatives
You can use the very good Mail.appetizer, for instance, and configure it to not dismiss the notification window until you’ve read the message and clicked it.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
